WIGAN WARRIORS FORM: CHAMPIONS DO ENOUGH IN FRANCE
On what could have been a very tough trip, the Warriors held their nerve to get the better of Catalans Dragons last week in Perpignan. They have now won their last three and lost just one of their last six.

HULL KR FORM: ROVERS’ RUN CONTINUES
It was yet another eye-catching victory for the Robins as they overcame Salford Red Devils to extend their winning streak to eight games and it will take a good team to end that run.

WIGAN WARRIORS VS HULL KR PREDICTION
The League Leaders’ Shield could well come down to this contest between Wigan Warriors and Hull KR. Both are on a good run of form with Rovers winning their last eight and claiming some big results along the way. On the other hand, Wigan now have the majority of their spine back in the side and will hope that yields improved performances having stuttered recently, despite taking five wins from six. This could go either way and while Wigan rarely lose at home, the form of the Robins could give them the edge here and they are favoured with the aid of a decent start on the handicap.
WIGAN WARRIORS VS HULL KR TIP: HULL KR +10.5
